Pacific Rim project [upd. 21.7.]

[manatic]

Very cool, where is Tacit Ronin from?  Pacific Rim comic or what?

Tacit Ronin is one of the early jägers from the movie, there's a glimpse of him shown in the introduction sequence:

His sleek design and style i would have thought him a Mk IV that was never shown.
Looking spiffy for sure.

Argh...they're a bit too old school methinks.  I do think a bunch of the Privateer Press Hordes minis would work a treat though.  Some of them look shockingly close to what I'd have expected to see in Pacific Rim.











I'd imagine a handful of these would be available via ebay for reasonable (maybe secondhand etc.)

This one has actually been on my to buy list. Or rather, I already ordered him but the store was out of stock and I never got round to re-ordering.

Agree that the Godzilla stuff is indeed a bit too old school. They have a charm to them though, as I've recently been going through old 50s and 60s kaiju movies

Perhaps you could create the rules...then build up some 1960's robots to fight some older Godzilla figs?  (no reason the rules wouldn't work for both).  Ya know, something like a Gigantor model kit or something?  Allowing you to play pulpy, or modern Pacific Rim depending on your mood/audience?

Yep those Everblight things should fit in great. Even the little shredders would be great. Kind of like the equivalent of a tank for the good guys I imagine.

The rules I'm using would actually completely fit that! Not a bad idea either...

Terrific project. In fact, it's so inspiring I bought the two PDF's (Monsters & Robots bundle) and I can't wait to do some monster and robot stomping in my Cyberpunk city

Awesome! Is there anything better than sharing inspiration? I don't think so.

Now I also bought the Dropzone Commander scenery pack and some Monsterpocalypse models...stop it...STOP IT!

The card city?  That's a great box...though the ground-cards are pointless.  Good way to grab a city real quick. 

[Malebolgia]

I'm going to glue the ground cards to foamboard to create six 2'x3' tiles so I can easily create a varied city. But yes, I mainly dove in for the buildings.
And I also ordered four of the Litko measuring sticks for the Ganesha games. That ought to be enough for now...right...?
